Net zero targets

The Climate Change (Net Zero Future) Act 2023​​ legislates the NSW Government's approach to addressing climate change. NSW Health is strongly​ committed to signi​ficantly reducing our emissions; with the ambition of achieveing a 50% reduction in emissions by 2030, and net zero by 2050. ​

Baseline carbon footprinting of our hospitals and local health districts shows that energy and transport initiatives are important, but also that decarbonising clinical care is critical. ​Our net zero projects show that we can maintain patient care, whilst reducing waste and emissions.
